Sorry, messed up previous subject line - This is 2.14.2 not 2.14.1.

--------
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)
The 2.14.2 release is a stable release of GDM that fixes a compile
issue causing problems with building 2.14.1 and some other fixes:
- Now include gui/gdmthemetester.in in the distribution. It being
missing was causing the module to fail to compile. (Brian Cameron)
- Fix to the BROADCAST key in gdmchooser so it should now work. (Brian
Cameron, kudos to Tiago Vignatti)
- Further cleanups to Addresses CVE-2006-1057. (Hans Petter Jansson,
Ray Strode)
- Path and RootPath now do not contain /usr/bin or /bin more than once.
(Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Takeshi AIHANA, \305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka,
Laurent Dhima, Pema Geyleg, Lukas Novotny)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp@mkp.net>.
Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron
currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.

No RPM this time around BTW. Have fun. A spec file is included though,
so you can try:
rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz
Have fun,
Brian
